256 Pagemaster gives you a soft gray and a wet-look gloss in one bottle. Gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
What you get in the bottle
- Two ingredients removed, not the performance: DND 256 Pagemaster keeps the pigment load and the high-gloss finish while leaving out HEMA and TPO.
- Made for the techs too: hands are in product all day, which is why ND stocks this line for the bench as much as the client.
- Self-levelling texture: less fighting the brush, fewer heavy coats.
- Colour choice is not the trade-off: the HEMA and TPO free line runs to 288 shades.
- Gloss that holds: the cured finish stays high-shine for the life of the set as long as the top coat caps the free edge.
Specifications
Spec Value Shade code 256 Shade name Pagemaster Colour family Gray Finish Glossy Bottle size 0.5 oz Formula HEMA-free and TPO-free Item weight 145 grams Bottle glass Condition new Application steps
- Clean the plate: file to shape, ease the cuticle back, take the gloss off and wipe the nail down.
- Foundation: one thin coat of base gel, capped at the free edge, cured.
- Colour, coat one: DND 256 Pagemaster goes on thin. Let it settle rather than working it, that is what the self-levelling texture is for.
- Colour, coat two: the second coat carries the pigment to full depth, cure again.
- Top: top gel over everything, cure, and take off the tacky layer if your top coat leaves one.
- Before they leave: cuticle oil, and note the shade number so the next fill matches.
Where this shade gets booked
- Minimal sets: gray is a neutral that works year round and does not fight a client's outfit.
- Pairing work: it sits next to a matte top coat or a chrome accent.
- Short nails, where a glossy finish is what the client asked for.
How it compares with ordinary gel
Compared with the regular DND gel wall, this line swaps the formula rather than the colour range. You still get 288 shades and the same high-gloss finish, without HEMA and without TPO. DND 256 Pagemaster ships as one option rather than a duo-or-single choice, so there is nothing to configure. A client with a known allergy should still patch test first.
Matching this shade across services
The point of a duo is that the client can leave with a bottle that matches the set. DND 256 Pagemaster is mixed as a pair, so the air-dry lacquer reads as the same colour as the cured gel under normal light. Where the same code also exists as a dip powder, a salon can run gel, lacquer and dip off one shade code without a second colour match. Check the options on this page to see which formats ND carries for this code.
DND 256 Pagemaster is stocked alongside the DND HEMA and TPO free collection, the whole gel and lacquer category and the whole gel and lacquer category.
